Justin: It`s true, mom.Mom: Why?Justin: Because I like her.Mom: Something you`re not supposed to do.Justin: (napatingin bigla sa kanya) Why not?Mom: First of all, she`s supposed to be ONLY your etiquette teacher.. To teach you how to fit in a normal setting.. That`s the only reason I`m letting her stay in the condo & paying her.Justin: I know na gusto mo rin syang i-"babysit" ako.. So you don`t have to worry about me while you work..Mom: Yes, that too.. And second..

May second pa? ???

Mom: I can`t let her into the family.. Especially after she ran away from home! What a disgrace!Ako: Ran away?!? How did you know that?!??!Mom: Of course I checked her background!Ako: Mom! You had your little spies go through private files again!!?!?!??Mom: Well I had to! Di ko hahayaang bastah na lang sya tumira kasama mo without checking her files! She was practically a good girl.. Good grades, good education, good upbringing.. Nothing less from an heiress..Ako: Heiress? ???

Heiress? As in ung nagmamana? As in babae ng heir? ???

Mom: Yes.. She`s going to inherit a multibillion empire when she turns 21.. She was being trained to run the family business too.. A well-bred lady, I must say..Ako: You mean, she`s rich? :-\ :-XMom: Very rich.. And mukha naman syang masaya.. until her marriage was arranged.. Then bigla na lang syang naglaho.. Then ehto nga, sumulpot sya dito......

Ako: (biglang singit) So what`s wrong kung nililigawan ko si Ciara?Mom: Don`t you see?? Nasanay sya sa sarap ng buhay! After running away, she immediately ran to someone who can give her the same life she led! Abah! Hindi ko naman akalain na lalandiin ka pala nun at aakitin ka pa!Ako: (napatayo bigla) MOM! She is not like that!Mom: How can you be so sure, Justin? She left her family for her own sake!Ako: She was about to marry a stranger!Mom: Which is not a big thing to someone in her status! Rich people marry rich people, more often than not, it`s an arranged marriage!Ako: I`m not going to listen to this anymore..

I stormed out the living room..

Mom: (habol ng sigaw sa`kin) I`m telling her to move out! Her work is done and I`m paying her last salary this week! Justin! Don`t you dare continue courting that girl!

Ako: What`s the big deal about being rich? Di ka naman nagtatanong, so di ko sinabe..Justin: (sigaw) WHY DID YOU GO TO ME, CIARA?!?!?! WAS ALL THIS PART OF YOUR PLAN?!?!?!?Ako: WHAT PLAN!?? AND WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME!?!?!??!Justin: WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!?!?Ako: COZ YOU`RE YELLING AT ME!

"Justin,I went home.. Sorry kung naging pampabigat lang ako.. Ehto na nga pala ung cellphone na binigay mo.. I don`t need it anymore.. Na-reset ko na lahat ng settings nyan, na-delete ko na rin lahat ng laman.. Just so you know, I never ran to you coz I needed you financially.. I ran to you coz you were the one who offered me the umbrella when it was pouring cold the night I ran away.. I stayed with you coz I wanted to.. But since you said you`ll be so much better off without me.. then I guess.. this is goodbye.. -Ciara"

Ako: You think this will work out? I mean, us? you think--Kurt: It will work out if we want it to.. Kailangan lang ng work and patience and all those other things.. After all, nakasalalay ang expansion ng family businesses naten dito..

Eh kung ung mga magulang na lang kaya naten magpakasal!??!!? :

Haaayyy..

Ako: So I guess, we really have to try to work things out.. For the rest of our lives..Kurt: Pray that it WILL work out..Ako: *sigh* Pray that it will...

Ako: Oh?Mom: (tuloy sa paghalughog ng mga damit) Do you have plans tonight?Ako: Nnottt that I know of.. Bahket?Mom: Good. Well, one of my friends told me na ung isang friend nya raw is throwing a big bash for their daughter's engagement.Ako: So? ???Mom: I heard she's around your age.. I bet her friends are going to be there too..Ako: Do you even know this person? ???Mom: No, and I don't need to. It's a free country, and they said it's a big party where anyone can goAko: We're crashing a party?!? ??? Mom: (napatingin sa`kin) We`re NOT "crashing" a party. We're simply attending..

And if I know, sinasabit mo lang ako dito.. :

Siguradong may kung ano pa dito..

Mom: And besides, you never know when you'll meet a decent girl.

Sabi na nga ba eh.. :

Mom: (balik sa paghahanap nya ng damit) And it's going to be the biggest event of the year. All the important people will be there

Business people... :

Ako: I'm not tagging along if it's because of that.. Baka ma-out of place lang akoMom: Shush.. Then take those three friends of yoursAko: Eh?!? ???Mom: Bring them along.. Just make sure you come, ok?

Desperado?!? ???

Mom: (tingin uhlet sa`kin) It's a semi-formal attire though.. Tell them that.. No baggy jeans, shorts, or whatever.. It starts at 6 PM, so hurry up.. Oh, and can you go to the mall and pick up a gift?

Eh?!?!?

Tinalikuran na ko ni mom..which means the conversation is finished, and I have no other choice but to follow what she wants..

Haaayyy..

Ako: Fine.. I'll call them up right now, and I'll go to the mall to pick some sort of gift.. I'll be back by 4:30..

Ako: (tingin kay Justin) I have to go back inside.. It's nice seeing you again..Justin: Are you serious!?!!?Ako: Anoh nanaman?!?? ???Justin: Is that all you have to say?!? Talaga bang ganon ka ka-affected dun sa mga sinabe ko!?! Sa tingin mo ba, I meant those things I said?!!?Ako: Aba`y malay ko!! And besides, there's nothing you can do about it now! (hold up nung left hand ko) See?? I`m engaged! And we both said we`ll try to make it work! Kahit na arranged lang sya, we'll try to make it work!

"Ciara?"

Napaikot kaming dalawa dun sa pinto.. Nandun na pala si Kurt..

Ako: Yea?Kurt: People are looking for you.. Your mom was blabbing about how much you love to sing..

Ako: (sing)Can you tell me, how can one miss what she’s never had?How could I reminisce when there is no past?How could I have memories of being happy with you, boy?Can someone tell me how can this be?How could my mind pull up incidents,Recall dates and times that never happened?How could we celebrate love that’s too late andHow could I really mean the words I’m about to say?

I miss the times that we almost sharedI miss the love that was almost thereI miss the times that we used to kissAt least in my dreams, just let me take my time and reminisceI miss the times that we never hadWhat happened to us? we were almost thereWho ever said it’s impossible to missWhat you never had, never almost had you..

But then.. Justin just stared at me the whole time.. Walang reaction.. Like nung una ko syang nakita.. No expression..

Justin: (kanta)...When the sun shinesWe’ll shine togetherTold you I'll be here foreverSaid I'll always be your friendTook an oathI'mma stick it out 'till the endNow that it's raining more than everKnow that we still have each otherYou can stand under my UmbrellaYou can stand under my umbrella...

Ahyan lang lines na yan.. chorus..

My lifetime friend... -_-

Justin: I didn't mean all those things I said.. CeeCee, you're the greatest thing that ever, EVER, happened to me.. I'm sorry if I hurt you.. That's the last thing I wanted to do..Ako: It's ok.. we can't do anything about it na naman..

Kurt: He's going back to the US today, Ciara..Ako: WHAT!?!?!?Kurt: That's what he said: "take care of Ciara for me.. I'm not sure I'll ever see her again.. I'm going back to the US.. My flight leaves at 5:40.." Parang ganon..

Ako: Nakausap mo ba si Kurt?Justin: Oo.. When I left your hotel room, nakasalubong ko sya.. But then, he was just saying something about how scary the whole thing was.. And that he doesn't know if he can get through with it.. Lalo since he met someone..

OoO

The jerk! :

Ako: So you didn't leave? I mean, you're not leaving?Justin: Well not yet.. I'm not going back to the US anytime soon.. Can you please tell me what's going on? ???Ako: Oh, it's nothing..

Justin: CeeCee...Ako: Yea?Justin: Why didn't you go through with the wedding?Ako: Well, Kurt and I agreed na we both deserve to be with people we love..Justin: And.. uh.. do you love somebody now? :-\Ako: (napatingin sa kanya) Hmmm... Do you love somebody now?
